Our first Mennill Lab meeting of the 2022/23 academic year! We read a draft of @KatrinaMGardner's latest #RoboToad manuscript. A great start to the new school year.

Which ones are RoboToads? Can you tell a 3D-printed #RoboToad from an actual Yellow Toad (Incilius luetkenii)?

There's a great video put together by @DylanKristy_ to accompany his @UWindsor Daily News article on our #RoboToad project (photos and videos by @KatrinaMSwitzer @MisterSavi @Steph_Doucet & @DMennill). http://bit.do/DNewsKaty

"Walking to the pond, trying not to step on toads, you look up and see this beautiful sea of yellow."
Great article about our #RoboToad project in @UWindsor's Daily News, focusing on @KatrinaMSwitzer (PhD student co-supervised with @Steph_Doucet): http://bit.do/DNewsKaty

A break-through with our third #RoboToad prototype! Movement brings verisimilitude to our Yellow Toad models for a field experiment @ACGuanacaste this spring. Great work @MisterSavi and @KatrinaMSwitzer! #WindsorScience

Here's the second prototype of our #RoboToad for a field experiment with Yellow Toads this spring. Not very hoppy and pretty noisy. It still needs work...

We're building a #RoboToad (a machine to make a toad model hop up and down) for a field experiment this spring. @MisterSavi and @KatrinaMSwitzer made our first prototype out of #Lego #Mindstorm. It still needs work...
